Interestingly plays a tape

Plays a casette tape and I'm happy about it as that's what I bought it for.It's made from plastic that feels like it will break easy, but I know I won't be throwing this about so it's a non-issue.One trick was where to put the batteries, was nice to be able to explore the player to find out.Good product. I will be breaking out tape loops to make art with. I'm glad it can play with the door open too so I can make long tape loops.I wish there was a half speed option.Onions are ogres.

Not bad, but not brilliant either

I found some old cassette tapes in a box in my loft and wanted to listen to them as they likely contained songs from my youth. Didn't have a tape player so got this as added bonus of being able to connect and record on my PC as needed.PROs- It does it's job, it plays cassettes.- It's cheap.- Arrived quickly and well packaged.- Recognised natively by Windows 10 and 11 (no faffing with setup)CONs- There is a noticeable hiss on playback.- The earphones are very, very cheap and uncomfortable.- USB cable was faulty when arrived - had to use a different one to be recognised on PC.- No power adaptor included- Application included is Audacity, which is free to download online (and made by another company).- Even using brand new high-performance batteries, the playback sounds slightly slower than it should (could be due to age of the tapes though?).Overall, it's not bad - get what you pay for. It does it's job but there will be better units out there or different options. You will need to use Audacity's features to clean up the recordings after transfer.Also noticed a number of other companies selling the exact same product with a different branding so seems to be a generic unit re-sold by numerous retailers.

Brilliant

This tape player is amazing! It plays all my old tapes without chewing them up, and easily plugs into my laptop to record tracks from the tape into Audacity program. (I already had Audacity so didn't need the cd) it is easy to use, and there is a button to play tape in both directions so you don't have to turn the tape around to play the other side. So far it has lasted well (I've only had it a couple of weeks but it has got intensive use).

Awful sound quality - slow, wobbly, and noisy

Truly awful sound quality out of this. I wasn't expecting much, but it's even worse than I imagined. The tape plays too slow and while I don't have the means of measuring it, the wow and flutter sounds truly awful, and I'm not even remotely close to an audiophile. There is also absolutely awful noise on the recording, noticeable during quiet parts of the recording. This noise is noticeable even when playing with no cassette in, so it's clearly from the device, not the tape.The mechanism also feels horribly cheap and nasty. The auto reverse has triggered a few times in the middle of a tape, though that at least seems to have stopped after running through a few tapes, perhaps once everything loosened up a bit. The sound quality however has not improved, and if anything the slowness maybe worse the longer I use it.I have some old tapes and I wanted to find out what's on them - this will do the job of letting me know what's on them, but getting audio which is actually listenable is beyond its abilities.Even allowing for how cheap it is I can't give this more than 1 star - it's just not fit for purpose, and will likely go back for a refund. Sadly it looks like all the similar items available are rebadged versions of the same thing.

Only worked once.

Looked good, price was perfect for being on a pension. Worked the first time but failed to again so sent it back and refunded quickly.

Excellent for digitisation of audio cassette tapes

AN excellent addition to anyone who has audio cassette tapes and wishes to digitise them. I only wish I had more time to finish digitising my very large collection!

Truly awful sound, good software

This is one of many identical Chinese-manufactured tape-USB packages available. It comes with the player, cable, headphones, and software. It is relatively simple to use and allows conversions of tape recordings to .mp3 format.Well it does, sort of. If you like excessive warble.Quite how a modern factory can make a tape player so bad is a bit of a mystery. I've bought a personal stereo from a car boot sale for 20p that is far superior. I would guess that my particular model may be a result of not uncommon dodgy Chinese quality control, as other reviewers have not mentioned such poor quality playback. In essence, this tape player cannot maintain a steady speed, no matter what age of tape is used. This is great if you want to replicate your 1980s dodgy car stereo, but not great if you want to convert anything other than spoken words. It's like listening to chalk grating down a blackboard. There's also a bit of background hum, although this really doesn't make much difference. Truly awful.The Audacity software supplied is good. It's not 100% intuitive to use straight away, but once familiar it can edit and produce compatible mp3 files. It would help if the player wasn't terrible, but at least some sort of output is created which is better than looking at a tape.Note to self: try out the new toy before the returns window closes.

Much needed piece of equipment

I have loads of tape cassettes which I basically have not been able to play for years. This neat, compact clever bit of kit solves the problem. The fact that it can convert the tapes to mp3 files using the Audacity software application is a massive bonus. It will require some editing in Audacity to obtain individual tracks but it is not difficult. Linux users should note that Audacity is available direct from your distributions software manager - only Widows and Mac users need the install disk supplied with the Cassete player.
